NEW DELHI: Air India’s direct flights between India and the US are set to get even more convenient for citizens, nationals and permanent residents of America. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of America has now included AI in the list of airlines whose passengers can avail its ‘PreCheck’ programme.
“TSA Pre is an expedited screening programme that enables low-risk travelers to enjoy a smart and efficient screening experience at more than 200 US airports. For TSA Pre travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts or light jackets. In 2019, nearly 94% of passengers in TSA Pre lanes waited less than five minutes,” TSA says describing this programme.
TSA Pre is available when departing from a US airport to a foreign country, and for domestic, connecting flights after returning to the US.
